DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Because they are evil, we must stand up to them. But because they are also stupid, we needn’t be afraid to.

maybe instead of everyone trying to pretend that the president is normal and isn’t talking about conquering nato allies, everyone should try reacting as if the president is talking about conquering nato allies

How do you address crime when, if you measure it, you find it’s at or near historic lows? How do you address grocery prices when they’re flat? This is the problem: we are being asked to address people’s inchoate sense that things are bad, which doesn’t come from reality. It comes from the internet.

X “is not in any robust sense ‘the people.’ .. “The people agreeing with Musk in polls or replies are not necessarily American citizens, much less constituents of the politicians they’re haranguing — much less humans rather than snippets of code.” @pbump.com www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Yes, and this learned helplessness is extended by the Party Defender types who are always eager to swarm any critic and tell them why Dems had no other options other than to sit motionless and get walloped.

Its not "cancel culture" that Republicans are against. They are really against "Being held accountable" culture.

For years, Trump and his allies have attacked democratic norms and institutions. The legacy media watched and did not take a side. Now, Trump is threatening to attack the legacy media and they are wondering why so few are rushing to take a side.

I think liberals are playing at a disadvantage on social media because they don’t really have the full moveset available to them: they can’t and shouldn’t lie and demagogue for attention. But they CAN optimize for the media environment, and that means, above all else, PURSUING GENUINE CONFLICT

If you want to understand why healthcare pricing is horrific, the first thing to know is that our system puts 100% of the credit risk for deductibles, copays and co-insurance on hospitals and doctors. That's insane. We have turned them into Sub Prime Lenders 🧵

The Trump administration will be a criminal presidency. People will be prosecuted without evidence or even a crime. And co-conspirators will go free.

Clearly, if Elon and Vivek and had an ounce of good faith in them, they would start trimming the fat around healthcare first, and would humbly ask @mcuban.bsky.social to show them how. But they won’t, because they will only cut where it’s good for their private interest.
